For example you get some degenerative nerve disease that makes it so you can't walk. If you were donating to a charity for the disease before you got it, it would be ironic. But is it selfish to start donating afterwards to work for a cure simply because you have it too? Although you're also trying to get the cure for the other people who have it, you didn't give a damn about them before and viewed mail from them as "junk mail".

From the looks of it, the Future's technological tendency/revolution is going ever so smaller - would the self-replicating nanobots someday run us over?

and expect someone to give an answer that you can repeat in front of your mother? Because I've seen some questions on here that should be reported and answers that should be reported so how come there are so many people that are getting away with ignorance? Is it because ignorance really is bliss?

In fact we seem to be so taken by this trivial idea of causality(a.k.a. indomitable FACT) that we tend to hold even the very notion of Nothingness in the mirror of Being. Is this due to the apparent Law of the Conservation of Mass/Energy, a causal/logical necessity, innate human nature/limitations, faithful dogma, empirical observations, all of the above, some of the above, none of the above, …….?

Imagine that there is a gun before you.
The bullet holder (forget what its called) can hold up to 7 bullets.
(this game is exactly like russian roulette if you are familiar with that game)
What i am asking is that in a theoretic situation u hold a gun up to your head with the 7 slots and the more bullets you put in the greater chance you will die.
My question is simple:
-put in one bullet and live you gain 5 extra years onto your life
(so you have 1/7 chance of living)
-put in two bullets and live you win 500,000$ (and gain the above prizes)
-put in 3 bullets and you win 5 million dollars (and gain the above prizes)
- put in 4 bullets and win 15 years onto your life (and gain above prizes)
-put in 5 bullets and find the cure of cancer and become worldwide hero and richest man in the world with 100 billion dollars (and gain above prizes)
-put in 6 bullets be able to create liveable enviorment on mars and jupiter (win above prizes)


-How many bullets would u risk 0-6? why?

It seems a very common thing, curiously enough.

When you were a child, did you ever wake up the next morning with your pajamas on backwards?

There is really no logical explanation for it, as we are talking about shirts&pants or nightgowns being shifted during the night with no recollection.

What do you think of it?

any aim is misleading!
any plan!
free eyes dont look at face,
they dont follow a track!
they move in a train but are free inside!
they want to die to get out of the train!
but the irony is!
they are train!
it doesnt rain into a train!
you have to die to see the rain!
we move to die!
we mislead with our education to make others die willingly!
because if they move we seem to move too!
but infact you are all death!

The real fallacy is in calling insufficient proof inadmissible evidence. Perfectionism leads to paralysis; another fallacy is that you have to be 100% convinced before you can make an intelligent decision.

Those who want to dismiss Ad Hominem are covering up their own deficient personalities and should not be trusted. Formal logic is a fraud; it relies too much on selected connections. It begs the question, the process, and the answer.

In real life, Ad Hominem is the most valuable clue and an incentive to pick apart a self-interested argument. Like other evidence, it has to be backed up by further investigation. Only when that fails to corroborate the Ad Hominem approach can it be dismissed. For example, Reagan's failure to punish Hezbollah for massacring Marines could have been attributed to being soft on every enemy except Communists, but he refuted that line of logic when he attacked Libya.

If the self does not exist, How can acts be linked with their results?
If when the deed is done, the doer is no more, who then will reap the fruits of the labor?
